Anthony Weiner has deemed a new Twitter-based scandal as nothing but a "prank," but the six-term New York Congressman has still hired a lawyer to defend himself against charges of sending a lewd photo to a 21-year old.

On Friday, the 40,000 people who follow Weiner were exposed to a photo of what appeared to be a man's crotch. (View the picture HERE.) The image was immediately deleted, before Gennette Nicole Cordova of Seattle could even view it.

Delta Goodrem has a professional relationship with Nick Jonas. This much we know.

When asked about rumors that his client is getting it on with the handsome young singer, Goodrem's rep simply said: "He is one of the many people Delta is writing with. She's not making any comment about anything else."

The singer made this brave admission in an interview with ABC last month. In response, many fans have expressed their support of the young star - but a troubling number have also mocked the celebrity, doubting the legitimacy of such an illness.

The former American Idol champion Tweeted a photo of herself this week in order to show off a slimmer figure, depicting how many pounds she has shed over the last year. She simply wrote along with it: I don't know why but my bathing suit reminds me of fruity pebbles. :)
